WHERE; Hogwarts grounds
WHEN; Wednesday, September 21st, afternoon.
WHAT; Random meeting on the schoolground/talking/catching up.
RATING; PG
STATUS; In progress

Ashley had decided to spend some of her free time outside and wrote in a notebook that she had since last year when stuff had gotten bad. She had decided to keep a secret notebook to herself, but she was mainly doodling in it now. The curly blonde softly sighed, as she looked up from the pages and thought she saw one of her housemates coming towards her, but knew that most of the were more into staying in side and moping, or whatever they do.

She bent her knee up and propped her notebook up, as she began draw random shapes and writing down odd things, when she looked up a familiar face was closer and she knew who it was a grinned. "Is that Dustin Towler..outside and not roaming in the Common Room?" She joked and did one of her fake gasped. She hadn't really seen her good friend because he had been either hidden or what she thought was avoiding her, but she didn't want to jump to conclusions.

Dustin really couldn't stay in the Ravenclaw tower forever. That was what he had been doing since the term had started, unless Saxen or Kairi made him, or one of his sisters needed him, but most of the time, he was in the common room, or in his dorm...unless it was class time. Of course, it was a Wednesday, and there were classes to be tended to. So because he wasn't stuffed inside a book for class or his Auror training, and because his class had just ended, he was walking across the schoolgrounds back towards the castle.

He saw Ashley sitting there with her notebook--because really, how could he mistake her curls from that far? He thought for a moment, as he walked towards her, backpack on both shoulders, his school uniform on, and his hands stuffed in his black trousers, if he wanted to chat. Maybe she wouldn't notice him. But then he decided that she was a friend, and he needed to make some effort of talking to others that weren't those that forced themselves upon him since the accident--like Oliver, Saxen, and his siblings.

Grinning shyly at her comment, he came closer to her and stood in front of her. "Yes, it's me," he said. "I just left class."

She couldn't help, but smile to see that he was okay. With a sigh, she stood up and dusted off her skirt of her uniform, which she had gone up long enough to put jeans on underneath, because she was just cool like that. She had her uniform tops open showing off her black t-shirt with a heart on it. Once he'd gotten in front of her, she wrapped her arms around him in a tight and huge hug. "I've missed you, Dustbunny." She said, pulling away and snorting.

She hated when Dustin would lock himself up in the Ravenclaw tower. She feels bad about not really being there for him when he had his accident and she knew she'd try to make things between them better than before. "How have you been holding up, seriously?" She asked, taking his hand and pulling him onto the ground beside her, so they can ahve a really good chat about things.

Dustin knew that hug was coming, and he couldn't say he didn't enjoy it. He wasn't exactly the hugging type, but he didn't mind sharing one with a friend. He knew he had to be social sometime. Wrapping his arms around her small frame, he hugged her back. "Missed you, too," he murmured, truthfully. He pulled back then and gave her a crooked smirk. "What did I tell you about calling me that?" Sometimes he hated that nickname.

Dustin sat down next to Ashley and shrugged, sliding his backpack off of his body. "I've been better, but I've been worse." And that was completely the truth. It had been two years since his accident and the loss of his mother, and that was, by far, the worst of his time on earth. Now he was just getting over it, moving his life on. Sure, it wasn't the best, but there had been better times. And he was hoping that was more to come. "Just doing a lot of work. You know, Auror crap." He shrugged, plopping the backpack down in front of him. "How have you been?"

"because it suits you. I gave it to you when we were 12, okay. It was when Oliver basically forced us to start hanging out and I remember says 'You're new name is Dustbunny and if you don't like it, then tough, becuase I'll call you that forever.'" She said, sounding a bit proud of herself for remembering that. "You gave me the Curly Sue nickname because my hair was ten times worse then as it is now." She said, pulling at one of the many curls and smiling.

When he asked how she'd been, she showed him the notebook of the odd words and shrugged. "A mess. Haven't you heard about my father and his love of the bottle? He gets into an accident and six months later he turns to drinking and acting as though he'd the lonewolf. I'm sick of him...of being his daughter...he is so..stubborn. He promised he'd stop, he hasn't..Mum wrote and told me and I can't tell Roger, Melinda, or Sarah..They'd be too scared to go home." She told him, as she looked down at the ground. "At least I have you, Oliver, Avalon, and a bunch of others to look out for me and my own stubborn self, right?' She said, trying to lighten her horrible sounding life.

She reached into her bag and took out some Bertie Bott's Beans and grabbed his hand and poured some into his hand. "You still like these, right?" She asked, just to make sure and nudged him with a goofy look on her face.

Dustin snorted a laugh. "Wow. Good memory." He couldn't believe she actually rememberd all that. It felt like such a long time ago. And just so.. much had gone on since then. "Well yeah, of course I had to give you a nickname, but Curly Sue really wasn't as bad as Dustbunny. I mean, really." He playfully reached over to ruffle her curly hair playfully.

He just listened as she went on. Really, he could understand her pain, but he could also understand her fathers. He had been so far into Quidditch, so much more than him, and it was his career. He had spent so many more years on it. But Dustin still knew how devestating an injury could be, especially when it prevented him from doing what he loved. Plus, he had had a family. Dustin knew the feeling of just wanting to die, or drop off the face of the earth, or just lay there and do nothing. Sure, he was still a young guy, and Ashley's father was older, but still. "I'm sure it'll get better," he muttered, looking down at the grass. It was all he could think to say.

Dustin looked up then, at the beans, and then back at Ashley. He smiled at her finally and took one. "Yeah, I do."

"Things need to get better, for everyone. I mean, Especially for you. I regret not being about to be there for you with everything..My dad was being such a prick about everything and he said that you probably didn't want me around. I tried to get in contact with you, but he was just a complete jerk and said that I was worthless and I had no friends becuase of things. I knew it was his drinking, but I was scared of what might happen if I did run away to come be with you or anything of the sort." She said, looking down at the grass, trying not to cry. "I'm really sorry, Dustin, really." She said, sniffling and clearing her throat. "Another crying fit, First with Olie, now with you. I'm such a big baby." She wiped her eys with her sleves and took a deep breath. "Enough sad talk."

She messed with his hair and tried spiking it up and laughed. "You should so go for the whole..punk look. You'd be so hot..To other girls." She nearly slipped up and saved herself. "You know something, We fought a lot in the beginning, but I'm glad we've become friends." She said, giving him another hug and decided that she'd mess with him a little and licked her finger and gave him a wet willy. "I love you Dustbunny." She said, grinning.

Dustin shrugged his shoulders. "It was probably better if you didn't try. I wasn't really letting anyone around." Except for Saxen and his sisters, but those were different stories. He even gave Oliver a hard time, until his best mate sat down in the chair next to his bed and refused to move. Dustin would have fought back if he had known he could have taken him, but at that point, he had no will power to do anything. It was probably better that Ashley didn't come near. "I wasn't exactly any fun. I don't hold you against it, you know." He looked up at her and offered her a small smile. "Hey. Don't cry." He reached over and playfully shoved her arm, gently, but playfully. "I'm horrible when it comes to girls cry. Please. Don't."

Dustin rolled his eyes and laughed. "I'm pretty set with the way I look now." He smiled at her. "I'm glad we became friends, too. Hey!" He swatted her hand away. "Gross, Ash." But he was laughing.

She decided to changed the depressing subjects and take note on the happier ones, that she oculd think off. With a soft sniffle and another wiping of her eyes, she managed a smile."Well, You know how I've become friends with Avalon Flint, right?" She said, feeling either a slap or a odd look coming on. "Well, she and I are planning a party and she has some silly idea that she is going to hook up with you because she likes you..." She gasped and giggled nervously. "My bad, Um..Pretend you didn't hear a word." She said, clearing her throat and shaking her curls a little. "Anyway, you really should come and hang out. Like old times..You, Me, and Oliver..standing around like loners. Nothings changed for me. I'll always be that loner who draws and writes at random. Or Curly Sue." She said, poking at him a little bit.

She gasped and dug through her bag, as she was speaking of old times and pulled out a picture of her, Oliver, and Dustin at King's Cross before 3rd year and snorted. "My mum found this and she wanted you to have it..I think she must be on drugs or something because she was crying like a mental person thing, yeah well..she said this was a great picture because we were babies. "She said, rolling her eyes about them being babies. "Don't you have some random pictures of all of your friends up in the boy's dorm still?" She asked, just to see if he did. "If so, put it up there." She added, kissing him on the cheek and smiling. She looked at him and grinned. "At least I know you've been taking a shower. You smell clean. Sneaking out to take showers, but cooping up whenever all of us hot and bookwormed Ravencalw are out and about. Promise you'll come out of hiding and you'l hang out iwth me more...Or I'll blackmail you with your hot nickname, Dustbunny." She couldn't help but laugh.
